Company Clothing Magazine

Finnish student Kati Joki has won the Lindström Award 2010 design competition. Kati, who is a student at Lahti University OAS Institute of Design, designed a workwear collection for Kone Corporation’s maintenance personnel.

This was the fifth time that textile service company Lindström had organised the Lindström Award for workwear design. Clothing design students from all over Europe and Asia took part in the competition, tasked with designing a workwear collection for maintenance personnel at Kone Corporation that would strengthen the company’s brand. Finalists worked with Lindström’s design team to develop the garments they had designed into prototypes

According to the judging panel, Kati Joki’s collection came out on top because of its combination of functionality and approachability. ‘We paid attention to the fact that it corresponded best to the judging criteria given in the assignment,’ said the jury chair, fashion design professor Mascha van Zijverden from Artez, Arnhem School of the Arts.

The winner will receive a traineeship at Lindström’s design department and a scholarship worth 5,000 euros.
